Map Description:

Point of Interest: Cage Alley

Deduk Inethmafol writes in his journal:

"As I found the first iteration to lack enough traps to contain even a medium siege, I commanded the fort to fill the empty spaces and produce a variable quadruple set of corridors each filled with about seventy cage traps and mechanisms. Using judiciously placed levers, we can thus close one corridor for maintenance and retrieve our next sacrifices while our harmless foes run into the fresh traps of another corridor. Stupid goblins! Stupid humans!" - Shurikane

"Although the engineering was simple, the execution was anything but. We've actually had to stop at this level because the scaffoldings were starting to shake around in the wind. We quickly laid down a foundation of obsidian and proceeded to build the walls.

The end result is a top-feeding drop shaft with two drawbridges. The first is meant to flush the current batch down one level when the pansies who handle the beasts get too scared of the screams coming from below. The second performs the actual job. I ended up giving in to the demand of a hatch to shield citizen eyes from 'those horrible, horrible goblins.' This led to this unsightly third lever on the far end. I will kick down whoever pulls this lever without my express authorization.

We also built an auxiliary shaft in order to safely and quickly discard enemy weapons."

"Success! The first sacrifice has ended magnificently. Blood and chunks flew everywhere as over twenty goblins and a dozen humans, whom I had witnessed together talking like best buddies with the former. Sacrilege! Liontower will not allow that. I ordered the lever to be pulled, and for Liontower to swallow these wretched souls. The screams of terror as the entire group plummetted to their death will forever remain engraved in my memory as the very best music I have heard in all my years of life. I immediately told the engravers to immortalize this moment into a mural."

"This is a late addition, but one I felt was necessary. Here, a set of gem-encrusted copper thrones sit overlooking the bloodied pool that rests under Liontower. Here, the citizens may sit and meditate as they gaze upon the chunks of our foes that have escaped the bowels of Liontower and massed at the bottom for us to admire. The smell is pugnent, excellent to clear the sinuses. The citizens are also summoned to this room every month in order to gaze at the history of our victories engraved upon the inner walls of the meditation chamber. I am planning on mandating the construction of additional copper chairs in order to completely surround the pool."
